@robsmallshire Apart from the level of sarcasm. But you never hear Holly say. 'Im sorry I can't do that Dave'

I enjoyed the Project Hail Mary movie, but the ship's computer 'Mary' talking in stilted non-sentences seemed immediately anachronistic by 2026 standards. Red Dwarf's 'Holly' was much closer to where we are today.

@computermuseum @Delverie I will have to say that none of this would be possible without the work of @happysphere and Simon Inns on the LD-Decode project #Domesday86 #lddecode

Over the past few months I have been working on extracting and decoding the datasets on the BBC Domesday Discs. This has included the data structure for the Surrogate Walks (Like google streetview but 40 years ago) @computermuseum @Delverie The nodes are plotted on the Map

Solved a few issues and added more debugso not I have Cross Hairs that is decoding the data type under the cursor from the text in the essay

There were still some datasets that refused to render

Very sad to see Philip Castle has died. He painted the iconic artwork for the original Elite:

After 18 years, Shantanu Narayen is stepping down as CEO of Adobe. Sources say he finally found the “cancel leadership” button, though it’s only available for 30 days before his annual contract renewal, so he'll be staying on for another 10 months.
